In cash terms the typical DE22 1 home went from £58,000 in 1995 to £290,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 130%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 30% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the DE22 1 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2002 (+25.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−21.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What DE22 1 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −1.7% | −4.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.3% | −3.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.3% | −1.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.7% | −1.1% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Sales activity in DE22 1
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 35 DE22 1 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 152 sales a year before the financial crisis and 88 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
The shape of the DE22 1 market
Only 35 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes DE22 1 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Against the DE22 district median, DE22 1 sits 18% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
Rents around DE22 1
DE22 1 falls under Derby, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £852 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £602 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,291 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Derby
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £290,000 median purchase price, a rent of £852 a month (£10,224 a year) works out at a 3.5% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

Bedroom by bedroom: DE prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the DE area, from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £255,000 | £348,918 (+37%) | £540,000 (+55%) | £710,000 (+31%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
